Review
SPEED from start to end was a full throttle action sensation that features the well talented performances of Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper and Sandra Bullock and excellent direction by Jan de Bont. This is a typical action-blockbuster movie where it is hero vs villain, the hero has a certain amount of time to disarm a bomb in a bus and the villain sits back and devises evil plans to cause havoc and destruction. The stunt performances of this movie were very extraordinary and quite the visual spectacle, especially considering the age of this feature and the limited technology that existed when it was filmed.

With the exclusion of the bus jump scene which was theoretically proven as bad physics, I mean the bus simply could not physically have realistically cleared a jump of that length given its weight and size. I guess that explains some of that Hollywood magic.

I liked to think of SPEED as a feature that certainly qualifies as one of the greatest action hits and has the pleasure to be enjoyed by the movie viewers in an action-oriented marathon or just one viewing at a time. This high-octane action thriller SPEED is close to being the best film of 1994 which is awarded to THE LION KING (click here).
